Summary
Senate Democrats who initially backed some of Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees now regret their votes, citing broken promises and controversial policies.
Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) apologized for supporting Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins after the administration terminated over 1,000 VA employees, including those at the Veterans Crisis Line.
Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) regretted confirming Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem due to aggressive immigration policies.
Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) expressed disappointment with Secretary of State Marco Rubio for actions undermining USAID.
democrats going-in should have been 100% obstructionists on anything they themselves didn’t write or sponsor. filibuster everything in the senate that wouldn’t be a 100-0 vote. just like the republicants have been most the time since at least newt, and almost entirely since obama.
They ooze weakness.
